Golf cars have a HIGH center of gravity, a bad suspension, bad brakes, (and loud mufflers). When you think about that.......golf cars are DESIGNED to KILL their passengers. Yamaha is basically telling their customers to use your golf car on the golf course and don't exceed 15 MPH on a road.
The average is about 0.2 persons/year. I've been here longer than 9 years and have hear of 2 fatalities---and one was a drunk passenger thrown out of a cart by a drunk driver. 15,20, or 25 is not much of a safety issue
